Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Allen Cunningham has just gone on a heater, winning two very big pots in a span of five minutes to overtake the chip lead from opponent Orel Hershiser.

In the first hand, Cunningham was all in for his tournament life holding {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

against Hershiser's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Hearts}

and flopped a king-high straight to take down the pot. Moments later, the pair were all in again and both produced straights - Cunningham's the higher of the two - earning him a hefty chip lead in the match.
